I’m a Mormon

I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or more commonly known as the Mormon Church. There's lots of misinformation out there about the Church. Why read erroneous material when you can easily see what we really believe? Check out mormon.org for an introduction to the doctrines and a chance to see member profiles, or if you want in-depth information, including the various books of scripture, lesson manuals, and policy manuals, go to lds.org.
